[MIKES MCS]

Well obviously you are not to blame here! I mean that Mare SCREAMED I"M A HUNTER TAKE ME HOME NOW in a demanding whinny that threw you to the ground and momentarily left you nodding to the question , So do you want her or not? Apparently the race horse owner , ( used to the auction format ) took this to mean YES. Then while still in a daze you literally ran into the bay whose well muscled brick $hit house of a body sent you to your knees whereby that trainer believed you were begging for the horse, took pity on you and said OK lady if you really want him that bad , here , he’ yours .. Seriously I think you pegged both their futures correctly , Congrats Good Luck .. I hear there’s a wonderful all OTTB show in Virginia next month , I think you could be ready for it

Hahahaha!
They're both beautiful--best of luck with them and keep us updated :)

[shawneeAcres]

Gosh don't you HATE IT when that happens! Last summer I took my trailer on a trip to buy one horse and brought back THREE! :eek: But you know two heads (or three!) are better than one!! That way you always have a bckup right?! Good looking horses and that mare is a real eye popper!

Do you suppose my husband will buy that??? ;)

[mjrtango93]

Looks like it was buy one get one free day at the track! Don't feel to bad this has happened to me as well. Go to buy one and low and behold for today...and today only......he comes with his buddy.

Seriously though went to the track once, picked up our horse, driving out, trainer stops us hey look at this horse. Pulls out a hunk of a 4 year old, slightly sore but nothing wrong hands us x-rays and lead rope. Ok we have a 3 horse trailer throw him in. Closing back door and another trainer walks around the corner with another horse......too slow for the track.....can't afford feed......going to give to first person with trailer leaving the track. Yeah it was a good thing we only brought the 3 horse instead of the 6 or we would have been in BIG trouble.

BTW: Just brush up on your acting lessons and act all surprised when a second one comes off the trailer if your hubby is around. It couldn't possibly be your fault if somebody put an extra horse in there right? Come on its an easy mistake!

[lesson junkie]

If your husband is like mine, as long as he doesn't see them together he won't realize there are two!

Seriously, congrats and good luck.

[snaffle635]

whooo hooo! or OMG!! not sure which! :)

Definitely whooo hooo!

Congrats! They're both gorgeous.

[Sebastian]

I think they are just dreadful... Please send them to me immediately so I can "hide" them for you. :winkgrin:

CONGRATS!!!!! :cool:
Seb :)

[acoustic]

I want Kris. I can hide him here in Fla if you'd like..

I have been drooling over the CANTER horses lately. One day..One day..

[Cruise Control]

They are BOTH wonderful!! I am in PA, if you need a place to hide, errr, put them I won't say I offered if your husband finds out!!:lol::D

Best wishes and luck with them!!:cool:

[kellyb]

Pretty ponies!! Great choices!!

[sansibar]

Beautiful!! Good luck with them!

I am quite tempted to drive down and pick up some canter horses now haha :)

[Coppers mom]

Do you suppose my husband will buy that??? ;)

Just act surprised, then bat your eyelashes and say "Poor unwanted baby, someone must have just stuck him in there. We can't send him away now!". You know, like when someone drops off a puppy at the end of the driveway ;) :lol:

[Linny]

If hubby isn't horsey maybe he wont notice that there are two. Like when they use several horses in one role in a movie and they are not marked the same. Just say "No honey, I bought one bay horse...doodeeedoodeedoo..."

[IsolaBella09]

Uhmm...if they go missing...it wasn't me. ;)

Good luck with them, they are stunning!

[CraziiPonii]

Congrats!! Their both beautiful:)

[mroades]

definitely whooohoooo

[EquineLVR]

I am soo excited I can hardly stand it!! I cant get a shipper though until 6/12 - so I dont get my new kids home for a bit.. :(

[AppendixQHLover]

It is WAY easier to ask for forgiveness than permisson...

That is how I brought home a new dog today. :D

Or blame it on PMS which your still having , that way he will back off slowly

If this board tries hard enough I am sure they could come up with 101 reasons why I ended up with Two horse instead of 1. I'll start off. ( I suggest everyone copy and paste this list as we all KNOW we will need it someday).

Reason # 1) PMS
Reason # 2) I only left the trailer open for a minute!
Reason # 3) No No , I bought him for a friend , They'll pick him up soon ...
Reason # 4) ?

[00Jumper]

That Lady mare is heinous . . . luckily for you, a stall just opened up here. You can send her along; I will take her off your hands so you don't have to look at her every day. ;):D

Seriously they are both STUNNING. Congrats! I saw Lady on the CANTER website a few days ago and thought "Ahh with some extra funds . . ." Have fun with both of them! :D

LOL! IMO, women can use PMS as an excuse all the time - pre, present and post!:winkgrin::D

Congratulations, EquineLVR!!!!!!

[AnotherRound]

You weasle. How will you ever choose which one to ride first? I would take one out, put him in the crossties, look at him, and just HAVE to go get the other out too. Brush brush brush, Oh! You want some bwuthing too? OK! Brush brush brush. OH! You want a carroth? Why didn't I think of that! I just happen to have two right here! Crunch crunch crunch. Now, little mare, shall I saddle you up or do you want to watch first? Who wants to longe? Come on you two, aren't you glad we're all friends? I only wish I could ride both of you at the same time!! Lets go explore the woods! Only, I am sorry to say I can only take one of you. I know! I'll get my best freind to come!! We'll be in pig's heaven!!

[Petalstorm]

Wow, you are one good shopper! They are both lovely. Enjoy your summer projects...

[acking01]

:eek: Words can not convey how jealous I am!!!! Congrats, they are both absolutely stunning!!!!

[Trevelyan96]

Congratulations! Those are 2 nice looking TBs! Hope you have a long, prosperous career with both of them!

[jengersnap]

The mare is stunning, and the gelding is built to work. You've a nice eye!

[2bayboys]

That mare has the most beautiful eye. Very lovely.

[AliCat]

Both are adorable :)

LOL! I have been pondering how I am going to manage both.. I normally only have one I am riding so this should be interesting.

I can't wait to get them home! I am already shopping too - they both have new halters, fly sheets, new saddles pads.. etc.. :)

[Twix04]

I am insanely jealous!! There better be a mare like that on Canter when I finally have the funds to get her!

[chawley]

Congrats! They are both awesome. Lady is gorgeous....Pleasee let us know how they do!

[EquineLVR]

THEY ARE HERE!!! Kris is a bit nervous but starting to settle down - Lady walked into her stall and started eating hay like she had been there her whole life!!

They are a little waspy looking due to the trip but otherwise seem in good health.

The Gelding is even larger than he looks and the mare is very fine boned..

I cant wait to get on them but going to give it a few days!! WHOO HOOO!

[anonymoustip]

Congrats and please keep us posted!

[lalahartma1]

Gorgeous! Me jealous! :)

[EquineLVR]

Ok Lady is tying up or colicing Please send jingles!!! I am very worried!!

[Sebastian]

Ok Lady is tying up or colicing Please send jingles!!! I am very worried!!

Oh dear... ((((((jingles)))))) from CA! Keep us posted.
Seb :)

[TaffyTowne]

JINGLES!!...Hopefully it is just a little tummy upset from being moved to a new home :(...She is such a beautiful girl!!!

[hellerkm]

If your husband is like mine, as long as he doesn't see them together he won't realize there are two!

Seriously, congrats and good luck.
I think we married the same guy LOL!!!

[dcm]

Ok Lady is tying up or colicing Please send jingles!!! I am very worried!!

Jingles from our home to yours!

[Pirateer]

Jingles for the pretty mare!

[EquineLVR]

Vet came and gave her ace and bute and also filled her up with water. Took some blood so we will know for sure tomorrow what is going on.

Keep jingling for her.. but she is doing better right now.

[TBDressage916]

I have been drooling over that mare- they both came from Teddy Jackson right? I spoke to her one time when I was shopping canter (she had already sold the horse that I called about) but she was a super nice lady and seemed to really care about her horses!

[Plumcreek]

Jingles!!
With our severe thunderstorms, maybe the weather is to blame? The lightening scared my horses. Are they at MPF? I will come look!

[EquineLVR]

Yep they are at MPF.. they both actually look pretty awful right now.. poor kids..

The gelding was completely undone when he got there but he has settled now.

She is too stiff to do much but she is eating her hay.

Yep - she has been very nice - even called yesterday and today to make sure they got here safely. :)

[ThatScaryChick]

I hope Lady is starting to feel better. :(

[Seven-up]

I just saw the update on this thread. Jingling for that gorgeous mare to feel better. I was stuck on a bus for 36 hours once. I felt pretty crappy too.:winkgrin:

Glad to hear Kris has settled down. Can't wait to see pics of the kids once they get comfortable!:)

[llsc]

Sending lots of Jingles your way.

[Nlevie]

Big jingles that they will both be fine ! We have to see pictures of them when you start riding them !

[HunterEquJumper]

Sending Jingles your way and hoping for an update.

[jenm]

Sending jingles from CA for Lady. I hope she is doing better!

[EquineLVR]

She has been good.. no more tying up.. she is stiff but she has also been only in her stall for two days.. one more day in her stall and then she can come out for some hand walking..

I think it was just the trip.

Thanks for all the jingles..

[Quinn]

Thanks for the positive update. I have been thinking about her. Jingles continue for full recovery.

please consider giving them more than a few days off--shipping a horse across the country after being in race training (and hard training probably!) is really, really tough on them.

I dont have any intention of doing anything with them for a while... I meant she gets to get out of her stall for a little handwalking.. nothing more strenous than that.

the gelding is getting daily paddock turnout since he is in better shap.e
